John Sigona is the dried fruit & nut buyer for Sigona’s Farmers Markets in Palo Alto and Redwood City, Calif.

Here at Sigona’s, I’m constantly searching for unique items to add to our dried fruit and nut selection. Recently I’ve discovered an unusual, cute little raisin coming from California’s Central Valley that I think you will really like. They are called “Midnight Beauties.”

These beautifully little organic raisins are just a bit larger than currents and are quite versatile. Because of their cute size, I prefer these raisins over some of our larger-sized varieties whenever I add them to my morning oatmeal or yogurt. Just recently I had them in rice pudding. I also like to eat them with any variety of nuts or bananas as a healthy snack. Try them in fresh fruit salads or in any number of gourmet dishes, including poultry, pork and lamb specialties.

Bottom line: Give these a try, especially since I’ve got a great deal for you right now.
